He could have taken it in Crypto like OBJ, then they could share financial and investment advice in the locker room. .

The Browns are here to remind us that NOTHING is impossible. 😋 IF Lamar stays healthy, he may make more money in the long run by dragging his feet. The market does nothing but go up. BUT, the only way I see it happening is to play under the Tag, collect $32mil and then go from there. I suggest actually playing a full season, then doing well in the playoffs. Earn a contract on the field, not sitting out while injured. It’s a gamble for both sides. I don’t like the idea of fully guaranteed contracts, I freely admit. Too many Haynesworth and The Captain types.

You will need a front loader to pick up all the dimes he’s lost. There is a reason most NFL players don’t let Mommy play agent. He certainly has that right, but this is where it gets him. He can’t even get market value, because HIS is market value minus two first round picks. If this is a chess game, he might want to have a violent sneeze and knock over the board.

Yeah, I’m afraid that does not quickly come to mind. He does not come off well, and THAT is why you have agents. They don’t take it personally, they will tell you the truth, and help you see the light. Lamar could probably make up the difference in endorsements if he didn’t appear to be petulant. The man deserves professional representation. I hope he gets it. Regardless, he’ll be set for life.

I tried to embed Neil Young with The Needle and The Damage Done, but maybe it’s best I failed. So sad, and so true. .

Have you looked into used ashtrays?

Will you feel better is we ask @HOUSE to help subsidize your new ticket costs. 🤷‍♂️

OBJ doesn’t even LIKE crab cakes! Take THAT!

Oliver was especially not holding ground with the high ankle sprain last year. People seem to forget about that, he played hurt for quite a while. That is NOT a quick heal, especially if you keep playing on it. Kudos to him for toughing it out. There was a video somewhere showing what a DT has to do to anchor and how brutal that is on an ankle. I mean, just think about that….. It hurt his game in every way, including what he is there for, which is quick penetration.

Well, I’m glad Jagger and Richards won’t go hungry, though they look like they could use a cheeseburger, some fries and maybe a milkshake. It’s funny how that music universe works, and who makes money and how much. We had some friends in that world that opened my eyes to give me a tiny glimpse behind the scenes. Entertainment is entertainment. The stars get paid, just like Josh makes more than a long snapper.

I heard the Hollies do He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother in the car yesterday. We had two sons, and it touched me. I went home and looked it up, and up pops this in video form (which seems to be eluding me).

You get it, or you don’t. CLASSIC! .

I think only Bill Belichick has a copy of Beane’s notes from those meetings.

Yolo would be impressed!!!

I think that might call for concussion protocol until further notice.

You’re paying attention, I can tell. 😋

My foot wedge is pretty harmless. When they start talking how much we are going to gamble, I mention that it will be my intent to cheat at every possible opportunity. That usually takes some steam out of the gambling talk. 🤷‍♂️

There is no salary cap for Scouts. I’d make it a priority like building the lines.

Time to focus on Special Teams! 😋

Maybe he just went shopping for a hooker online, and fell in love? 🤷‍♂️ Love makes you do crazy things!

Oh, how I miss those years! It was the same thing in basketball, if you can’t go left, you can’t go anywhere because they will just take going right away. It’s good for sports, for sure, but it also teaches you work ethic. Nope, it ain’t easy. THAT is why you are working at it.

You deserve the rest!

Our son was a very good soccer player. He could have played in college, and he “got it” the first time on the field in a 3 on 3 as a little kid. He would just dribble around the kids picking flowers. He knew why he was there, and it was a mission, regardless of pretty cloud formations! Eventually in Rec league games (school and travel team, be sure you win first) we told him it only counted if he scored with his head or his left foot. It REALLY helped develop his skill set.

I’m sorry, it’s not personal, but that is a horrible take. (See the bold.) Are you calling people racists because they think Lamar wants a contract that would be a bad move for any team? Top dollar (originally said to be 100% guaranteed, but now he’s “reportedly” backed off) after spending TWO first round picks. My understanding is he’s been offered Cousins types of deals, but he wants longer term AND fully guaranteed. He wants the STUPID deal the Browns gave Watson. One stupid deal does NOT make the market. Look at the Cousins deals - he was smart and willing to accept short term deals. He’s made a fortune on 1-2 year deals over and over. Lamar could do the same. Lamar would be fully guaranteed on the $32mil +/- franchise deal. Nobody resents that, to my knowledge. I think he was offered 3 years for $133 mil guaranteed, but he wanted more and/or longer. His style does not lend itself to long term fully guaranteed deals. He needs to stay healthy and earn his money. I don’t see this as racist. The man needs professional representation. With a qualified agent none of this would be happening. .
